THE OMATTA DAT1/T BT2T3 : SYTVnDAV , JANVAKY 20 , 1000. PRE1ENI ) LAW IS INVALID1 Pcisible Fhw in Measure Providing for Salaries of District Clerks. SOME ONE H\S JU3GLED IHi RECORDS ItrnlilrnlN of Unifier Ciitiiplnlii of tlie 'I'riiln hcrvli'e ( il > cn Tin-in li > * ( lie Iliirllnuton SlnllNllcx of Iliu I'cnltcntlnry. LINCOLN , Jan. 19. ( Special. ) An Impor tant discovery was made nt the state house oday thai may possibly result in Invali dating the law passed by the last legislature f'xlng ' the fialarlcs of clerks of the district i.urt. . The record of the vole taken on Hie measure has been I'lthcr lost or stolen and while the records of the legislature tthow tlio total number of yea and nay votoa cast : hero to no positive proof that the roll was ailed or a vote taken. Those Interested In knocking out the la A- will ralt-e the point that the absence of the record leaves no rviddncc that the bill passed by a consti tutional mhjnrlty ntid If their contention is upheld by the courts It will Invalidate several other Important acts. County At torney Shields of Douglas county has ex amined the record of the district clerk bill and Uilnks that If H can be proven that the vote was actually recorded an taken there will bu no trouble In proving Its pass- ago. ago.The record In the secretary of state's onire reads : "The roll wad called nnd re sulted : Yen , S2 ; nay , 7 ; as follows : " and thun credits every member of the house of n prcaent.-UIVfp , Including those who were Hbsunt nt the time , aa having voted both In favor and Mpalnst Its passage. This was done by pasting on the record. Immediately after thn total vote , two copies of the roll call of the house , one under the heading "These voting yea" and the other one under "Thosb voting nay. " Wht'ii the roll WIIH called In the house on the passage of the bill each representa tive was checked cff on the printed roll rail ns he cast hlJ vote. Instead of pasting this | n the record the summary was writ ten nt the toil of a blank roll call , without any change being made In the names ap pearing below. Tlnso who have looked Into the matter bellove there-will bo no difficulty In demon strating that the total vole no recorded Is correct. However , the question will prob ably be referred to the courts by the oppo nents of the. bill. nciiiiinil for Hotter Service- .

Halglcr BcemH to be feeling the cf- tccl of competition and Is becoming jealous ofVray , Colo. , and Benkleman , Neb. The petition also alleges discrimination In favor of St. Francis , a Kansas town twenty miles louth. The document presents an Impos ing array of Inslnnris where It Is alleged the railroad company has treated the town unjustly. Complaint Is made because two fast trains stop every day at Benklenmu and Wray and do not even slacken their peed at Halglcr. The railroad company will be notified of the complaint against It ind a hearing will be held before the sec retaries of the board. The petition follows : To State Board of Transportation , Lin coln , Neh. : The unrtprwlEwrt residents of Halgler , Neb. , or thoppviiosn burnous point Is H'nlKler , make complaint to your honorable board that the passenger , ox- pruHH and mail sorvlro of the H. > t M. rail road at thls pln fjs.unsatsfactoiy. | Wray , Colo. , seventeen mlltK wtsf , pud Bqukle- man. twenty mile * east , have ench two fast trnlnH east nnd two west every day , milking much superior service for them ; while 'his pbice rcc-olves , produces and sends out ns much freight as either Wray or HenWemnn with no express train , ami would furnish ns ninny passengers If we had train service. .

" Anyone who wishes perfect health must bo entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh Is well-nigh universal ; almost omnipresent. Peruna Is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold Is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds , to cure colds. In to cheat catarrh out of Its victims. Poruna not only curC3 but prevents catarrh.
